I'm kind of wondering why you would replace the sensors with no CEL codes present, but that's not your current issue.

 

Not too many things that could cause your issue and not generate a check engine light error. Have you have a scan done on it or are you just going by if the dash light is on? You can have situations where the dash light isn't on but you have error codes.

 

If I ran a scan and it showed no error with the exact symptom you stated of that car starting for only a single moment and then turning off. Provided that is correct these are the things I would start checking (starting from nothing as you didn't give much background): check oil and coolant for fluid mixing, check all relays and fuses for any that are blown but more importantly look burned or corroded, chassis grounds, battery terminals, battery, starter and alternator connections, pull fuel line and insure decent flow rate, test car with only starting fluid and see if operation is better than gas, inspect/test plugs wires cap and rotor, check timing, check compression.

 

These are your free troubleshooting steps which could all produce a similar symptom to what you describe. I'm leaning toward bad electrical connections with the battery/grounds or distributor myself. That is just based on my history of Honda's and how touchy they can be on electrical tolerances.
